Diaper rash
Diaper rash is an inflammation of the skin of the buttocks which is very common in babies, because their skin is in contact with wet diapers.
In case of diaper rash, diapers should be changed often (at least eight times a day) to keep the buttocks as clean and dry as possible. You should also use a cream that absorbs dampness, protects the skin from the diaper and soothes the irritation. If symptoms persist, you should consult a physician.
